University of Cincinnati Beyond Coal

Nine months ago today a small group students at the University of Cincinnati sent a letter to President Gregory Williams announcing the official formation of the Beyond Coal Campaign. Now, not even a year later, we have reached the crucial moment, we have made our final ask. Just days ago, the administration formally announced that the first of the two coal fired boilers on our campus is scheduled to be retired by 2015 before the EPA MACT Rules (Maximum Achievable Control Technology) go into effect. On the heels of this good news, we decided to make the final demand: a commitment for the second boiler to be retired no later than 2019.
